A quick note on Google+

[matgb]

Lots and lots of the people I normally get all with trying out a new web feature have had emails to Google+ and are having fin getting it working.

I haven't had an invite yet.

It looks cool. Nothing groundbreaking, but some substantially well through through UI tweaks to existing ideas (Dreamwidth users are probably pointing at the "Circles" idea and going "ours" quite a bit, whereas G+ is laughing at the management interface...)

So, y'know, if anyone has a spare invite kicking around ;-)

ETA: I know have an account, and it is good-never actually received an invite, I just got in via a link, weird.

Mat does use Gmail, just not very much on a day-to-day basis. Same goes for me (and I've got 1078 people in my contact list on Gmail) and I've not got an invitation either. I think it's partly to do with whether you've linked your Google account to your Twitter or Facebook accounts. In my case Google keeps saying "Are you @stealthmunchkin on Twitter? Go on, please tell us you are. We know you are. Please tell us." And I keep saying "None of your business". I suspect if I just clicked 'Yes' on that, the invitation would come pretty quickly.

So that's how the do it. I've never used gmail and have no intention to do so. Google's way more sinister than Facebook.

Break your links!
